A Windy Spring Day

When a big wind goes whoosh, Skunk gets scared and could sure use a friend. Braving the storm to check on his best pal, Raccoon comes over for a visit and brings a big surprise--supplies to make a kite. Skunk and Raccoon work together to get the kite made and invite everyone in Buttercup Grove over to fly it, because some things are better to do with more than just two!

In the tradition of timeless classics such as The Tale of Peter Rabbit, The Many Adventures of the Winnie the Pooh,  and Frog and Toad, The Tales of Buttercup Grove series introduces young readers, ages 3-7, to the many fun adventures of Skunk, Raccoon, and the rest of their woodland friends. Along the way, your child will learn timeless Christian values, such as sharing, compassion, kindness, encouragement, and patience.

The story is one of friendship and helping others when they are afraid. Instead of staying afraid one friend helps the other find a new way to see things. Children are sometimes afraid of things, and in A Windy Spring Day, Skunk is terribly afraid of the wind outside his little house. He calls Raccoon who knows exactly what Skunk needs-a friend, some, fun, and a distraction. Together they fly a kite and soon Skunk forgets about his fear and enjoys flying his kite with the others Michal Sparks' detailed artwork beautifully illustrates this story of fear and friendship, which concludes with a Bible verse on trusting God when we are afraid. I love the illustrations in this book. They are so whimsical. This is a great character building story for children.
